Groundwater Monitoring for quality, volume and flood planning.

Groundwater Monitoring Background

This web page was created to respond to a Townsville, Queensland, Australia workshop called Amplifying Sustainability and Resilience Workshop.
The goal is to show the tools available to real-time monitor groundwater over a large area including trends over droughts and floods.
The origin of this need was the 2019 floods with 2 metres of rain falling in 14 days and flooding several suburbs.

Groundwater Monitoring Conclusion

The hardware exists for real-time monitoring of groundwater bores.
Cloud computing can collect groundwater data at scale.
Queensland Government is accepting bore user data for collection and distribution.
LoRaWAN can transmit bore water data up to 10 kilometres.
Satellite Internet can be used in remote regions to relay bore water data back to global data centres.

Real-time Groundwater Monitoring needs to scale up to get better data across the water table.

Benefits:

Manage the available water supply responsibly.
Know how the water table will work in times of drought and floods.
Plan ahead so we do not run out of water.
